Installing win98 after Linux

Hi everyone! I have Slackware 9 installed on my hda and now i want to install windows98 on hdb. I tried to disconnect hda and install windows and after that connent the Linux drive as master and add the windows 98 drive to Lilo. But win98 won't boot. Is there a way to install win98 on the slave drive (hdb) without erasing my Linux drive?

yeah sure, install it as a single drive like you seem to have done, then swap it back into slave with linux on primary. then edit /etc/liloc.onf

Code:

other=/dev/hdb1
        table=/dev/hdb
        map-drive=0x80
        to=0x81
        map-drive=0x81
        to=0x80
        label=win98

and then run lilo as root to update the menu. This then lies to windows telling it that it is actually the master after all and it should boot fine
